This server-side class provide methods and public functions that allow operating with workflows and theirs components, such as activities, transitions, and so on.
You can create an instance of the SimpleWorkflow class in the way described below:

| ||||||||
const simpleWorkflow = new SimpleWorkflow('159491114038814558'); |
Parameter(s):
| Name | Type | Mandatory | Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| workflowId | Integer | N | NULL |
cancel(current)
This method allows cancelling all active contexts of the current record.
Parameter(s):
| Name | Type | Mandatory | Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| current | SimpleRecord object | Y | N |
Return:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Void | This method does not return a value. |
Example:
| Code Block | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||||
const simpleWorkflow = new SimpleWorkflow('159491114038814558');
if (simpleWorkflow.hasActiveContexts(current)) {
simpleWorkflow.cancel(current);
} |
copy()
This method copies the workflow with creating a version in the Checked Out state and after that returns a copied workflow.
Return:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| SimpleRecord object or NULL | This method returns NULL if the new SimpleWorkflow object has been created without specifying the workflowId parameter; otherwise, it returns an object of the Workflow (wf_workflow) table (of a SimpleRecord type). |
Example:
| Code Block | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||||
const workflow = new SimpleWorkflow('159491114038814558');
const copiedWorkflow = workflow.copy();
const simpleWorkflow = new SimpleWorkflow(copiedWorkflow.sys_id); |
delete()
This method deletes the workflow and all its elements.
Return:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Boolean | This method returns the boolean result (TRUE if the workflow was successful deleted; otherwise, returns FALSE). |
Example:
| Code Block | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||||
const simpleWorkflow = new SimpleWorkflow('159491114038814558');
const copiedWorkflow = simpleWorkflow.copy();
const simpleWorkflow = new SimpleWorkflow(copiedWorkflow.sys_id);
if (simpleWorkflow.delete()) {
ss.info('Workflow deleted!');
} |
hasActiveContexts(current)
This method checks the current record if there are any active workflow contexts present or not.
Parameter(s):
| Name | Type | Mandatory | Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| current | Simplerecord SimpleRecord object | Y | N |
Return:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Boolean | This method returns the boolean result (TRUE if the active workflow context presents; otherwise, returns FALSE). |
Example:
| Code Block | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||||
const simpleWorkflow = new SimpleWorkflow('159491114038814558');
if (simpleWorkflow.hasActiveContexts(current)) {
simpleWorkflow.cancel(current);
} |
revival(executingActivity, current)
This method restarts the workflow starting with the activity specified.
Parameter(s):
| Name | Type | Mandatory | Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| executingActivity | Simplerecord SimpleRecord object | Y | N |
| current | Simplerecord SimpleRecord object | Y | N |
Return:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| SimpleRecord object | This method returns an object of the Workflow Context (wf_context) table (of a SimpleRecord type). |
Example:
| Code Block | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||||
const current = new SimpleRecord(event.table_id.name'task'); current.get(event.instance'164579976616724057'); const activityapproval = new SimpleRecord('wfsys_executing_activityapproval'); activityapproval.get(event.param_1)'164625329711023536'); const activity = approval.wf_executing_activity_id; const workflow = new SimpleWorkflow(); workflow.revival(activity, current); |
start(current)
This method is intended to start the workflow.
Parameter(s):
| Name | Type | Mandatory | Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| current | SimpleRecord object | Y | N |
Return:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| SimpleRecord object or NULL | This method returns NULL in the cases listed below:
Otherwise, it returns an object of the Workflow Context (wf_context) table (of a SimpleRecord type). |
Example:
| Code Block | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||||
const simpleWorkflow = new SimpleWorkflow('159491114038814558');
const context = simpleWorkflow.start(current);
if (context.state === 'finished') {
ss.info('Workflow finished!');
} |
startSubflow(executingActivity, current, workflowId)
This method allows starting sub-workflow by executing activity.
Parameter(s):
| Name | Type | Mandatory | Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| executingActivity | SimpleRecord object | Y | N |
| current | SimpleRecord object | Y | N |
| workflowId | Integer | Y | N |
Return:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| SimpleRecord object or NULL | This method returns NULL if there are no workflow versions created by the current user; otherwise, it returns an object of the Workflow Context (wf_context) table (of a SimpleRecord type). |
